Pros

BD is an ethical company that is making an effort to be more diverse and more in touch with a younger generation. Many, not all, managers are in tune with their direct report's needs to maintain a work/life balance.

Cons

It is difficult to get promoted to a Director level or above. More often than not, these positions are filled by outside hires. You're better off leaving and coming back in a higher position. They go through firing / hiring cycles that are demotivating (e.g., laying off 10-20 people in a particular job group, and within 6-12 months, posting positions for hire in the same group). If you are a favorite of the VPs, you are allowed to practice bad behaviours with your direct reports and general management activities.
